Definitions

  • the invention relates to an air treatment system for a land transport vehicle, particularly rail, and a land transport vehicle comprising such a system.
  • the invention also relates to an air treatment method for a land transport vehicle.
  • air treatment systems including air conditioning, including air treatment units in each of the passenger compartments and a refrigerating machine for producing frigories, that is, that is negative heat energy capable of cooling an environment by extracting heat from inside the vehicle and discharging it outside the vehicle.
  • the cold storage unit In WO-2005/014365 , the cold storage unit must be reloaded regularly, especially in ice, while in WO-2005/025959 the material used to store the frigories is an ice produced during the circulation of the vehicle in the open air using a specific production unit using in particular chemicals such as glycol.
  • the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a new air treatment system for a land transport vehicle, in particular a railway vehicle, in which the cold required during passage in tunnels is obtained in a manner more economical and efficient compared to the techniques of the prior art.
  • This system is characterized in that when the vehicle circulates in the open air, the refrigerating machine supplies frigories to the air treatment units and charges the frigory storage unit if a surplus of frigories is produced, rejecting at outside the vehicle the heat extracted from an interior volume of the vehicle.
  • the cold used during the passage in closed places does not require specific materials and only uses components that are already present in the vehicle, by the use of the refrigerating machine that is intended to the circulation in the open air and whose production of excess cold is used to recharge the storage unit of frigories.
  • the invention also relates to a land transport vehicle, including railway, comprising an air treatment system as mentioned above.
  • the figures 1 and 2 represent a part of a railway vehicle M, in this case a metro.
  • the railway vehicle may alternatively be a train, a tram or any other type of vehicle running on a railway and the invention also applies to any other type of land transport vehicle traveling on land, on the road, such as a bus, a truck, a car, a mining vehicle, etc. and likely to circulate alternately in the open air and in closed or partially enclosed places.
  • the part of the vehicle M represented on the figures 1 and 2 is more specifically a car belonging to a subway train. This car is adapted to accommodate passengers and the vehicle M includes for this purpose an air treatment system 1 which includes air treatment units 2 distributed in the metro M, including several in the car shown in this example.
  • Each of these air treatment units 2 comprises a heat exchanger and unrepresented ventilation means, making it possible to extract a flow of ambient air F1 from the interior of the metro M, and to insufflate a fresh air flow. F2 treated and potentially cooled by its passage through the exchanger of each unit 2.
  • the air treatment system 1 comprises a refrigerating machine 4 which is located, in this example, in a lower part 6 of the metro M.
  • the refrigerating machine 4 is adapted to circulate, in the heat exchangers of the treatment units 2, a refrigerant cooled so as to reign in the interior space of the metro M a preset temperature.
  • the refrigerating machine 4 absorbs the heat of the extracted air flow F1 from the interior volume of the subway 6 and rejects it outside the vehicle M, according to the conventional principle of an air conditioning. This operation does not present any drawbacks when the rail vehicle M circulates in a space located in the open air, as is the case on the figure 1 . In this case, the refrigerating machine 4 discharges a flow of hot air F3 outside.
  • the air treatment system 1 therefore comprises a cold storage unit 8.
  • the unit 8 is also, in this example, located in the lower part 6 and is adapted to be recharged in frigories by the refrigerating machine 4.
  • L The cold storage unit 8 and the refrigerating machine 4 are connected for this purpose by a refrigerant circuit comprising two pipes 10a and 10b.
  • the lines 10a and 10b allow sending refrigerant to the unit 8 for storing frigories, while heated refrigerant is returned to the refrigerating machine 4.
  • the refrigerating machine 4 is adapted to supply the refrigerant to the air handling units 2 independently of the cold storage unit 8. Thus, even if the cold storage unit 8 has a zero charge rate, the refrigerating machine 4 is capable of directly supplying a sufficient quantity of heat transfer fluid to the air treatment units 2.
  • This type of operation shown in FIG. figure 1 , takes place when the vehicle M circulates in the open air.
  • the supply of cooled refrigerant is represented by the arrow F4
  • the return of the heated refrigerant after releasing its frigories in fresh air F2 is represented by an arrow F5.
  • the surplus of frigories produced by the refrigerating machine 4 is stored in the cold storage unit 8.
  • the refrigerant cooled is directed according to the arrow F6 in the pipe 10b to the unit 8, and emerged after releasing his frigories according to the arrow F7 in the pipe 10a.
  • the cold storage unit 8 can use any type of cold storage means, such as, for example, distilled water, mineral water, normal water network, phase.
  • This storage means will recover refrigerant frigories such as refrigeration gases (R134A, R407C, 1234YF, R22, R410, R744, R513 ...), heat transfer fluids or coolant (such as glycol water which is a water normal network to which a certain percentage of glycol has been added
  • glycols are diols in which the two hydroxyl groups are carried by different carbon atoms, usually but not necessarily vicinal Glycol is also a synonym the simplest of these glycols, ethylene glycol (or ethane-1,2-diol, HOCH 2 -CH 2 OH) which is a vicinal diol.It is the most important industrial diol, widely used as antifreeze.
  • propylene glycol also has many industrial uses (pharmaceutical, agrochemical, aeronautical, etc.) and is less toxic.This list is not exhaustive and may also include a fluid type temper base acetate and potassium formate. very different types of refrigerants can be used like friogel, temper, etc.
  • the frigories stored in the storage unit 8 are supplied to the air treatment units 2, while the heat exchanges operated by the refrigerating machine 4 are stopped.
  • a configuration is represented in figure 2 .
  • the frigories are directed to the air handling units 2 via the refrigerating machine 4 without being subjected to heat exchange.
  • the circulation of the refrigerant in the lines 10a and 10b is reversed, the frigories being transferred along the arrow F8 in the pipe 10b, and the heated refrigerant redirected to the unit 8 along the arrow F9 through the pipe 10a.
  • the interior of the vehicle M is cooled without heat being rejected outside the vehicle M and warms the ambient temperature of the tunnel.
  • a refrigerant circuit completely decoupled from the refrigerating machine 4 and directly connected to the air treatment units 2 may be implemented.
  • the system 1 comprises a control device 11 adapted to determine whether the vehicle M circulates in a closed place or in the open air, for example by capturing pressure, by camera, by GPS positioning, etc.
  • the control device 11 is also adapted to initiate the production of frigories by the refrigerating machine 4 if the frigory storage unit 8 has a zero load.
  • the control device 11 is adapted to measure the temperature outside the vehicle M, as well as the temperature of the ambient air present inside the vehicle M, and to determine the quantity of frigories to be delivered by the refrigerating machine 4 or the cold storage unit 8 for obtaining a temperature of comfort in the interior of the vehicle M.
  • the capacity of the cold storage unit 8 is dimensioned so that the cold storage unit 8 can be fully recharged by the refrigerating machine 4 when the vehicle M circulates in the open air or is in a so-called zone. charging station (station, depot 7), and that the cold storage unit 8 can provide frigories throughout the running time of the railway vehicle M in a closed or partially enclosed.
  • the system 1 is implemented in the context of a control method operating by calculation iterations, the operation of which is described below in relation to the figure 3 .
  • the external temperature that is to say the temperature outside the vehicle
  • the temperature of the air extracted from inside the vehicle M are measured in a step 101.
  • a target temperature is calculated on the basis of the external and internal temperatures measured in step 101.
  • the temperature of the air extracted inside the vehicle M is compared with the target temperature, and this comparison makes it possible to determine a cooling load that indicates the quantity of frigories to be supplied to obtain the set temperature in the internal space of the vehicle M.
  • the algorithm determines, using one or the other of the means described above, whether the vehicle M is in a tunnel. If the vehicle M is not in a tunnel, the cooling load is supported, in a step 104, by the refrigerating machine 4. The excess refrigerating charge produced by the refrigerating machine 4 and which is not necessary to the cooling of the internal temperature of the vehicle is stored in the storage unit of frigories 8.
  • the state of charge of the frigory storage unit 8 is measured in a step 105. If at step 105 the state of charge of the frigory storage unit 8 is of the order of 0, the cooling load is supported by the refrigerating machine 4, in a step 106. If the state of charge is greater than 0, the cooling load is supported by the frigory storage unit 8, in a step 107.
  • Steps 101 to 107 are preferably initiated by the control device 11, using unrepresented electronic communication links.
  • the various operating configurations of the air treatment system 1 can be triggered by separate control devices.
